Lori was impressed with her range of knowledge. True, the girl kind of freaked her out with how verbal she was about such a terrible thing happening to her, but if it meant surviving, she could stand that bit of weirdness. "How old are you?" she asked finally, happily snacking on the palm heart. She really wasn't a fan of the taste, but it really didn't matter at this point. Her stomach was painfully curling in on itself, trying to shrink to feel better. But, now with something in her stomach, she felt much better. It would be easier to get things going with this in her.
She nodded along with what Nix said, realizing that she had many of the same ideas that Zach had concerning getting some shelter secured. Zach was talking about moving into the caves, and she wondered what Nix thought of this. "Zach was talking about moving into the caves, especially with this storm coming," she added in, tucking a piece of her long hair behind her ear. She was very interested in Nix, but for some reason, she felt very apprehensive around her. Maybe with time, she would understand why. But, as of right now, Nix didn't provide any reason for Lori to be apprehensive. Maybe Nix would actually prove to be very useful in survival here, and that was something Lori had to hang on to.

NIX NIGHT Shadow of the Night
Nix could feel a little bit of fiber in between her teeth and she shifted her head to tilt her mouth over to one side, her eyes watching the other girl as she spoke before nix gave a little smile. "Nineteen now, as of April" she said as she righted her head and then turned her neck a little, she wondered for a moment how old the other female was but knowing was not going to give her anything useful and so she didnt see the point in asking.
The mention of the male made nixs hand curl, she didnt know she had done it until she could feel her nails pressing in to her palm and she took a breath and looked down. Less negative, she needed to try and be more cheery. "I like caves, i dislike other people though so that might clash" she said honestly, her eyes lifting as she lifted her head again and gave a little smile. Push the positive, try to at least act like things werent going to hell. | |

She was a tad bit surprised at her age. She knew that she had been young, but to still be a teenager and to have seen so much of the world was amazing to Lori. Having grown up with a very easy life, she never really considered what it would be like to have to be a teenager and fend for yourself as Nix had, or even to be in a situation where you are teaching a grown ass woman how to survive on an island.
Lori wasn't exactly super perceptive, but she did notice when Nix seemed to grow more tense at the mention of Zach. She was curious what the two of them had done to cause this reaction. Then again, Zach was kind of an asshole, so she could see why she would have this reaction. Many around them probably had the same exact feelings as Nix did to him.
She wondered if it would be hard to be friends with Zach with so many people disliking him. Then again, she didn't really need to be friends with him to have sex with him. She had done that interesting relationship many-a-times, and it wouldn't really be different with him either.
After a few moments, Lori snapped back into the present instead of thinking about Zach. She could imagine that Nix would have a really hard time dealing with all the people. Going through withdraw made her extra irritable, and she noticed that there were many people that drove her crazy around here. She could imagine that if you were someone like Nix, you would have a hard time with the people that they had been stuck on the island with.
"I don't know how I feel about staying in a cold, hard cave. I like the sun too much," she finally mentioned, taking a seat in the sand and chewing on the fibers of the palm heart. "I don't know what everyone else is thinking either. A lot of people are saying they don't want to stay in the caves while others say they don't want to stay on the beach," she mentioned, looking out at the swirling mess that was the sky.

NIX NIGHT Shadow of the Night
Nix was not good at this putting on a face thing, and she could see plain as day the other girl had picked up on it. Nix knew she disliked people, she disliked those who tried to get close to her even more so and so her dislike of zach must have been very plain to see. she shook herself, her grip on the rabbit under her arm pulling tight as she did so and tried to focus once more. Though the other females comment made her roll her eyes, try as she might, she couldnt agree. "Well thats stupid. Huge winds and pouring rand? Falling trees and flash floods, sure....sit on the area where water rises and there is no soil for trees to hold on to" she said in a tone most unimpressed with who evers dumb it it was to stay on the beach.
She didnt mean it to be harsh, though if it was taken that way she wouldnt be shocked. She had a habit of giving her opinion in this tone that people disliked, she didnt know any better so she had learnt not to care for their response. As if to tell her to decide, the wind picked up and she felt her hair lift off her shoulders and settled behind her and she frowned. Might be better to begin moving, rather than wait here and see what happened | |

Lori loved how she spoke her mind. She would never question ulterior motives with Nix, that was for sure. She cracked a small smile at her outburst before looking out around them. She wondered what it would be like on this island now that they have begun to believe that help wasn't coming. Nix seemed not to care to stay out on the beaches like the others had wished. So, that meant she didn't really care about the boats or airplanes spotting them on the beach.
She wondered what that meant about Nix. "Are you wanting to get found, Nix?" she asked quietly, looking over at the woman. Based on her scary past, Lori wasn't sure what the young girl would think of returning back home. She wondered for a moment why Nix had been on a plane in the first place. Heading to Cuba no less. She tucked back a piece of her hair, turning towards her. She was very interested in what this young girl was thinking in this moment.

NIX NIGHT Shadow of the Night
nix did not expect the female to grin in the way she did when it happened, nix was used to be scolded and told not to come over so harsh or nasty and here was this female almost saying it was alright. Though when she spoke the red-head gave a little sigh and tilted her head, trying to think of how to word her answer. "I want to be found, but i dont want to die. Waiting on a beach is a stupid and killer idea, waiting in a cave is a better one but hard to be seen and waiting on higher ground in a forest might be best for fire signals but i dont think anyone will find us." she said in a long breath, trying not to show she expected the group never to make it off the island really.
She didnt mean to think the worst, she was merely used to encountering it so her mind jumped to that before anything positive. She was going to try of course but first she wanted a supply of water and food, a safe place to eat and sleep and to feel comfy before she went about trying to get off the sand bucket. There was no point spending all the power she still had from her better life on trying to get out when there was a chance they could be here months. | |

Lori sat for a quiet moment. She could tell that she would like Nix, because she allowed for the long stretches of silence, something that Lori craved and needed. She brushed back her hair as the two relaxed near one another. They would need to get up an do something soon, especially if Zach came along and saw the two of them lazily waiting while the oncoming hurricane threatened the survivors. But, this moment gave her a moment to question if she wanted to be found. For once, she didn't have to really worry about responsibility. But, then again she really didn't have to work if she didn't want to. Being the trust fund baby she was, she could survive off that for the rest of her life and never really worry about living a more than comfortable life. So, what kind of responsibilities did she have that she felt like she was escaping? Her dad flashed through her mind and she felt a pull on her heart. She wouldn't embarrass him anymore. Instead, he would just think that she had died.
How long had it been now that they had been on this island? A week? How long would they still search for the plane before declaring them all dead? When would her dad hold a funeral where Lori's many acquaintances and her dad's famous clients could mourn the dead of her? This thought made her throat close with a bitter taste. She could recall several instances where her dad had attempted to scold her loose behavior, and after many arguments the two of them had just lived separate lives with her dad attempting to buy her love. Any time she wanted something, it had immediately been bought in attempt to win over her love so that she may consider living according to his standards.
"Nix, what are we going to do here if we never get found? We are all just going to die here and never become anything," she said finally, looking at the young girl as if she had the answers to everything. She had the answer to lack of food and salty water, but did she have the answers to long-term survival?

NIX NIGHT Shadow of the Night
Nix could feel that the quiet in the air held something between the two females, she stole a glance at the other female who seemed to be deep in thought and so the red head pushed herself on to her feet and stretched out one arm, looking around before she felt it. She had known it for a little while now but really paid attention, she could feel the pressure in the air now. She shivered a little before the other girl spoke and nix turned to her and gave a smile, she preferred that out come really. "Well thats obvious isnt it? theres food here, water and shelter....Im sure there must be fertile land somewhere too....we just make a home" she said, grinning at the idea of living out of a cave with a little hand ploughed farm close by but she still felt uneasy. "I think we should head for higher ground" she said, her eyes moving to the sky again. So calm, but she knew not to trust it. She wanted to get somewhere safe so that if and when this thing did hit the island she was somewhere out of the way and able to ride it out and then come back down and see how she could help the idiots who chose the stupid fate.

Nix's relaxed stance about living life here on the island sent chills through Lori. Could she do that? Could she live like their ancestors had hundreds of years prior? Lori wasn't sure. But, the small girl gave Lori some support, and despite her being a little socially awkward, Lori felt better that she was there with her. There was someone here that could really help her out, someone who could potentially make this island suck a little less. Nix and Zach; she needed to hold onto them.
She did pull herself up, casting a glance to the sky that loomed above them. "Yeah, I think you're right," she said finally, wrapping her arms around herself to calm the goosebumps that ran across her flesh. She combed her fingers through her hair, brushing it back as she moved to follow Nix out. "I hope those people on the beach get some kind of cover," she muttered to her, in obvious agreement that they were idiots for hanging out on the beach.
(Sounds good to me! If you wanted to start something I can throw her in!)

NIX NIGHT Shadow of the Night
Nix pushed her feet down hard, feeling the sand shift under her as she moved and so she turned herself. She took a few more steps this way, turning each time before the sand under her feet barely moved and she nodded. She pushed on this way and found herself soon walking over stones and looked up to see grass ahead, turning back to see the other girl and now the girls words moved to her on the wind. "I wouldnt start saying that, someone i used to know would say you began saying that about me and it was hard to stop" the younger girl joked, her eyes playful for a moment before her hair was pulled over her face by the wind. She growled softly lifting her hands and then flicking one in to her hair while pulling a strand with her other hand and wrapping it around the tail of hair, she tucked it together and made a sort of self containing ponytail before pushing it down her shirt and then looking forwards again. they should move up here, find a tree to shelter under for a small rest and then push on to the caves. She didnt want to add to the second comment, she felt both annoyed and scared enough about people being down there in the first place really.

Lori did laugh, and not just out of sympathy. She was a little happy. Sure, not as happy as she had been with Zach around, but that was a different kind of happy. This was a kind of happy that she could compare to hanging out with her girlfriends. Surviving on this island with Nix could be a lot like surviving a club with her girls. She could do this with a lot of effort and a little bit of support, and after Nix allowed Lori to pry a bit, Lori figured Nix was pretty good for the job. Plus, she would be a liar if she said she didn't want to see Zach and Nix together. She thought it would be kind of interesting being friends with the both of them, and couldn't wait to see what kind of trouble the three of them would end up in.
Lori stood up, stretched like a cat freshly awoken from slumber, and followed after Nix. "Oh, Nix, I don't think you being right around me will be a problem. I need someone who knows what they're doing," she said with a chuckle, beginning to follow her up towards the direction of the caves. With the looming clouds not a single animal could be heard like before. It was definitely the calm of the storm, and Lori, unsure of what that meant for their immediate future, began to get a little bit nervous for what was to come.
